PH GERMINATION EXPERIMENT! – GERMINATING CANNABIS SEEDS – WILL IT GERMINATE?
PH GERMINATION EXPERIMENT! – GERMINATING CANNABIS SEEDS – WILL IT GERMINATE?
I’ve always germinated my cannabis seeds in RO water with a pH of 7.0 and never knew what other pH levels would work for germination. Therefore, I decided to do this pH germination experiment. I also tried germinating seeds in pH Up and pH Down solutions. If you want to see more cannabis grow experiments like this, click the thumbs up button! 🙂

Good to know, well done ! could be check for different temperature as well, and distill water vs regular different PPM level, must be comprehensive for germinate seeds ! thanks Mr. Grow it !
What i get from this is whatever ph your going to use for growing can be used for germinating. Very good info, thanks
Yes i think your a boss for making this video soo awesome i was wondering this exact question and you answered it in entirety. My expectations were the same as yours and am very surprised looked like 11. Something did the most accelerated growth, did you end up growing all those sprouts to harvest of at least continue with them?
Dude. Stating a hypothesis, testing it through experimentation, writing down, and publishing your results IS science. Don’t say that you aren’t a scientist. You may not be classically trained; but, you definitely are a scientist.
PH 5
Yes do more
You just answered my question! Thank you!
are all seeds the same ? doesnt this matter too?
Very cool and interesting. Definitely more of this type stuff. Most of these grow videos are very repetitive so this was different and interesting. Thanks MGI
Back to the point distilled water
Unless I miss it, viable seeds gonna sink to the bottom will in most case germinate, Seeds floating covered by an oily film will sink later . Cracked shell seeds will always float from air inside, I germ in a glass of water + a few drops of javel bleach mainly for older seeds so I don’t need to change water.
What happend to posting links to the seed banks u use their not in the description as u said they would be?
Using root booster to germinate my weed seeds try that one
It’s really cool how the real low PH didn’t Sprout and then just one point above that it did. And then the 11 pH sprouted then the 11.5 didn’t. I think that’s awesome interesting!
Would be interesting to see how they grew afterwards
after 72 hours it looks like all the seeds in between a ph of 3 and 10 germinated just fine. Thanks for the experiment Mr. Grow it!! I will continue to germinate between 6 and 7.
Underrated content bro appreciate this even tho its 2020 lol
very nice
The shell is not effected by pH, hey you learn something new every day. But for sure those seedlings died in the non5-8 range, very fast I bet hah. As soon as the plant cells escaped and hit that high pH or low pH, boom, gone, no?
I ain’t got any pH down for my silica so I used honey
@Mr.Growit have you ever started seeds in Coco and they look shitty? I started a few and they’re on their 3rd set of leaves and look burned to hell. Is that due to poor ph? And I dont have RSO water.
Good experiment
So unless it’s the extreme end they really couldn’t five a shit what they sprout in? Good video pal.
What do you mean low ph
What kind of water is that? loll
Not bad..
O h! By the way they all spouted
Thank you for your information!
Neat video. Never seen this done. You do amazing videos that are so educational but yet fun! 😉 Peace
Love it
Woow nice video! Something important to do now. Thanks!
What ph meter do you recommend?
Sir how to grow cannabis seeds in a hot surface…
This is a good idea ! Do more please.. peace
Cool experiment. It’s sad that you say "I’m not a scientist", when you clearly proved otherwise by using the scientific method. Lol 🙂
I think if we looked at the actual chemical ingredient(s) of the pH up and pH down used, it might shed light on the results? Like if one is derived from some form of potassium (for example) that might aid in germination or "root development". That may be why, say, the lower pH’d water (acidic) *appeared* to do better (small sample size).
Great job man.
Thanks.
Well done. Now do one with humidity and temp! Awesome
very informative!!!
The music tho! 🤣
Great job . I just finished germinated 15 seeds this way literally just now! Only concern is my moisture in my humidity cover
Yes thank you for the ph on water i did like you trying all different ph’s very interesting thank you mate.
My PH from tap is 9.0. I always bring it down to 6.2 with great results.
Pause… Prediction. It doesn’t really matter and any differences will be marginal.
I thought the pH 10 was really surprising ! Great experiment, breaks the meta 🙂
Cool video.
Wow! ph#10.0 really surprising!
I know that my comment is three years late however I will still participate. I think set water pH with 3.0 all the way up to you 9.0 will sprout the seeds. All of the other pH levels will sprout but the seedling will not be good If it even sprouts
And what kind of water, soil etc that we use
1.2 pH??? im surprised there was still an exosperm in the seed lol.
pretty cool
7.5 to 8 not 1 has poped….
Strange to startn bug me
Great experiment. I think age, and storage, have alot to do with if a seed grows healthy. I took some old seeds and tried popping them and didn’t have much luck. But used a south pole of a magnet under the same kind of old seeds and they grew better than some other newer seeds I had. Try using magnets for increase growing. I’m still experimenting. There are other vids on youtube.
